Dont worry we are 100% prepared and it's under control!

So we need to get off our butts somchi and burn our cane before March  1

I am thinking out my but again.   But I am thinking some people are able to fight off this virus and show negative test results. Of course, I wished they would specify what test results they talk about. There are actual DNA test and then there are indicator tests and accuracies  the are different.

It is almost to early to say what is fake news until this virus is understood.   Fake news is also a direct result of valid distrust from government.   Look at China and sars, china suppressed this virus 30 days from first case Dec 1.  Many arrested Jan 1 including 2 doctor.   Look at trump lies over 12,000 proven lies in 3 years.  I think th his virus is going to lead to upheaval of the masses.  

Story sounds so similar to the man who has big money but it's on hold  and he needs a loan so he can get big money freed up and pay you back. 

If its 2% of your net worth maybe buy this lottery ticket.   But I think you need to learn about  sister.   Sister is not going to be happy to lose her future inheritance.   We have enough hatred when in Thailand.  Dont create a vengeful woman who will blame you for all her poor choices.   Dont be wirth more dead than alive.  Is sister  cute?

Also much land has little  real value in Thailand because  who will want to live in her family circle with  resentment or worse?  It may not even be ok to farm.  The family may boycott  working this land.   It is nice your lady friend thinks smart about financial  matters.  Tell her you like her but dont get involved. 

*  So stupid

*  Why is she  sitting?

*  Why no family around her?

*   Why not hugging doctors?

*   How much did her 9 days cost.              her? 

*    Who is paying her medical  bills?

*    Any permanent damage to heart.          or lungs?  

*     how many tourist day $ benefits to Thailand were wiped out for her medical care. 

*     a team of doctors you say?  Let's hear how many beds and patients that team and hospital can care for before care drops?  Did any government visit this hospital?

Dam I flew in December 26 from Shanghai.  I now know why they had temperature sensors up  and pandemonium  in the airport.  Would  my travel insurance have covered this? Geoblue

Will or have  travel insurance companies now added exclusions to countries?   

Maybe my sickness Jan 2-7 I posted about was a weak case?  

So how do you get a battery with less than 1 electric channel.  Omg. TIT

1 1/2 hours a day seems short.   By high jet do you  mean it sprays up  into the air?  Do you test  often. Cl, all, ca?

Need a retractable cover.  

How does the population immune system get ready for this.   What is this guy smoking?  

Wow jan 19.  Earlier than I thought.   I departed jan 21.  2 more taxi drivers? Or two total? 

I've said and many of my posts before that All I see in eyes in Thailand is greed and look what it's done.   The genie is out.  Are some top officials going to do a red bull?

Maybe this will be his crowning teaching  moment.    Karma comes to my mind 

Obviously Thailand needs a basic finance class in the HS curriculum.   I would worry she hasn't told you a out all the debt.  One thai gal I know 3 million in debt but insists she wont burdon the man but how can any decent man  let a partner continue to waste so much in interest.  But it would be quite risky to pay it off not knowing how long the relationship would  last.  

Thailand needs thousands of more particle counters.   You can  buy one low price and  add to the network.

It is absolutely possible to travel right now!

Just take precautions, that are a liiiiiiiiitle better than usual and you shoul dbe fine!

 

Yes, selfie pictures with masks on are popular right now.    A trip to Thailand  before the full extent of the calamity  Thailand faces would be very unwise.   Facts are the airport screening  doesn't  work.

The health care facilities  are stressed already.

Masks are in short  supply.  

It transferred from passengers to taxi driver.   

The airline list who have stopped  China  service is an arm long.  Other countries maybe added at any time.

If you do travel to Thailand  and they have not contained  it will only  be the right thing to do if you observe  a 14 day self quarantine at home. 

So it begins. 

It cant be screened for using  temperature.  And even that chiangmai man tested negative the first time with some other  test.   I I wonder if they are actually doing the DNA testing on Phuket or they have to ship it to Bangkok in a fight? I would think an island like Phuket would be the worst place logisticslly to supply the medical community  amd a bad place to be if and when a pandemic took root. 

Is smog really that  bad?  That's about how I would say the scuba diving compares to a good Caribbean location 2 years  ago.  

I wonder of the wu flu deniers are also climate change  deniers?  Time will tell.   I rather ne safe than sorry.  I read somewhere where heart damage is occurring.  So recovery may not really be back to 100%.  

I am having trouble imagining thailand, krabi monitoring  100 people on some semi lockdown.    These are stuck here for 14 days.  But then are house maids and families  watched?  I just dont believe Thailand has enough respirators.   It would suck to be told you are positive but sorry no machine or room go home like many in china have.  I am thinking once we get this virus shut down we should focus on malaria and dengue and a few other things.

so lets get this right 

 

a plane has gone to pick up Thais stranded in China and when they arrive back in Thailand they will be quarantined for 14 days 

 

Hundreds are still arriving from China on holiday and all they are doing is scanning them which we now know to be ineffective at identifying all those infected 

 

Well done Thailand another international first for administrative stupidity

Same in the USA. the government evacuation of embassy officials is quarantined but hundreds of flights nothing.    Plus what is "further testing "?   Do they  have the test  kits?  And how long to get results?  I just feel Thailand's health care system cant handle a real epidemic.  

He only forecasts out a month or 3 due to interruption from the virus.   I dont think  its linear and can easily have a year  long lasting  effect.  I'm sure there will be a several month lag in return of tourists if and when  Thailand and all surrounding countries are given the all cured green light.  

Same with this terrible  air that has become the norm.  Kanchacaburi 500 I cant imagine.   Before I would  plan a family vacation to Thailand  in high season I would have to see that the past  season was good air after some major  government crackdown and solution to the root causes.  Many people dont do last minute  trips but plan months in advance.    

I dont expect tourist number  to previous levels for 12 months. 

 I have not followed this story but from the beginning I imagined the pilot was trying to decend to find the bottom of the clouds but there was no bottom.   Were they  intending to land at an IFR facility? Or right near the basketball game?

So this  patient was in  the general ward for days plus initial  exam.  How many staff are under surveillance and does that mean at home?  Or continue  to work?  Seems like 2 patients like this can decimate a hospital staff.  There has to be 3 nurses  plus a doctor plus the 3 shifts now staffing a few doors left  open removed  from patient care. 

Surgical masks And don't they need glasses?  And do thai hospitals even have n95 mask supplies to last or at all?  From most reports  any masks are sold out much less n95.  Plus they dont have different sizes and do test fits on small asian faces.    I don't see how this is going to not blow up in CM.     If it doesn't blow up do we believe the numbers? 

From the very beginning I wondered how much the medical cost are going to negate the tourist numbers that they wanted to allow and encourage in.  I can't help but thinking someone is profiting from these tourist numbers via big hotel kickbacks or somehow and expecting the hospital  bill of sick to be paid back out of a different pocket, like tax revenue.  

I was told about a farmer fined 3000 baht  in central thailand.  

You guys with uni girl investments sure get me thinking.   Maybe I should reconsider  my plans and retire in Thailand.     Can anyone  give a cost estimate on this?   And how it works.  Is it a short 4 year  term then you find a new one? I've been told there are waiting  lists available for a sponsor.    

Everyone knows Thailand cant monitor all the tour guides.  Bunch of BS.  Halting case numbers until the holiday money is in the bag will be the downfall of these government officials imho. 

There is a company who analyzed all the flights out of China,  and Thailand was the top tourist destination.    It's just sad the peak travel from china overlapped with this virus. You have  to be totally brain dead to think Thailand's numbers didnt go up exponentially  the last 2 days.  It is so scary that the health  minister has put a gag order on provincial health officials  about wuhan case numbers.  I dont put much stock in confirmed  cases because  I am sure the DNA test kits are in short supply or not well distributed.   DNA testing is likely backed up.  

I  am so sure thailand is not ready.  So many reports of masks  sold out  everywhere.  Is the government  saying they have stockpiles of n95 masks to distribute?  No!  in fact police and other mask handouts are the wrong type masks and just show us the expected  media blurp for the  5 o'clock  news.   

I would not  travel to Thailand  now.  

There is a chance you may get stranded in Thailand.  Yiu may hav ed to go in quarantine if you do get home. By mid February it is possible  countries or airlines  will ban flights from Thailand.   BA and another airline  I think a German one have cancelled service to China.   

I saw video of the suited guys spraying something  in the airplane.   Tell me they can sanitize  all the air ducts and jets in  an airplane.
